Stone Texture Window Wells for Basements
RockWell Window Wells was founded in 2004 with a vision to revolutionize basement aesthetics and functionality. Our journey began when our founder, Vaughn Cook, encountered the lack of attractive and durable window well options while building his own home. Leveraging his background in composite engineering from the aviation and automotive industries, he developed a product that combines real stone texture with unmatched durability. Today, we serve homeowners and contractors across the United States and Canada, offering innovative solutions that transform basements into inviting living spaces. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our 10-year limited warranty, which covers product repair and replacement.We prioritize safety with built-in egress steps, ease of installation through lightweight one-piece designs, and long-term value with rust-proof, temperature-resistant materials. Our team remains dedicated to advancing basement window well technology, ensuring every product meets rigorous safety standards while enhancing curb appeal. Customer satisfaction drives our continuous improvement, as evidenced by our responsive support and personalized service throughout the purchasing and installation process.

Egress Window Wells
Our egress window wells combine safety and style with built-in steps for emergency exit compliance. Constructed from high-strength composites, they resist rust and extreme temperatures while maintaining real stone aesthetics. Each unit meets IRC building codes and includes a 10-year warranty covering structural integrity.
Stone Texture Wells
Replicating natural stone texture, these window wells enhance basement curb appeal. The lightweight composite material allows easy installation while maintaining durability against weather damage. Available in tan and gray finishes, they transform dark basements into inviting living spaces with natural light penetration.
Window Well Covers
Polycarbonate and metal grate covers provide safety while maintaining ventilation. Designed specifically for RockWell wells, these covers prevent debris accumulation and accidental falls. UV-resistant materials ensure long-term durability while preserving the stone texture aesthetic.
Basement Safety Steps
Integrated step systems meet building code requirements for emergency basement exits. Molded directly into well structures, these non-slip steps provide secure footing for all ages. No additional ladders required, ensuring quick and safe egress during emergencies.
Composite Window Wells
Fiberglass composite construction delivers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional metal wells. Resistant to corrosion and structural degradation, these wells maintain appearance and functionality through freeze-thaw cycles. Backed by a 10-year limited warranty covering material defects.

I have requested information on two occasions; once about 3 weeks ago and a second time 3 days ago. I have never received a response. I am just trying to buy window well covers. If your customer service is this poor in serving a buyer, I cannot imagine how poor it would be if I was a customer.

I have a rockwell window well my builder installed. I contacted the rockwell group about 2 weeks ago as my builder suggested them as a POC for a window well cover. I've yet to get a reply on how to purchase it, but i do get spammed at an insane level with emails from them, including this one asking me to leave a review. Note: in the future, maybe assist the customer before requesting reviews, that might work better. Note2: they allow + in the email, so ensure if you contact them, you put +@.com then you can filter the incessant junk you get. you can't opt out of the junk and successfully use their contact form.

Product is very good but have had some problems with the installer not completing the job. Still waiting for the cover hinges to be attached after a year. The cover also has a large stain which wasn't visible with dirt covering it when they assured me they would return to finish up. Tri State Basement in Richland Center Wisconsin. They refuse my attempts to contact them. $4000 paid completely last year.

Rockwell supplied our window wells/covers for our new home and we couldn't be happier. They are top-notch quality and add a custom look to our home. The built-in steps give me peace of mind for an easy escape in the event of a fire. The faux rock look with the natural color we picked match the color tone of our home and landscaping. They blend in perfectly with the house. Additionally, we purchased covers for all 7 window wells. I can let me young kids play in the yard without worrying about them falling in the window wells. Ordering was a breeze and they have great customer service. I highly recommend RockWell.

To begin understand I am a do it yourselfer with several years of construction experience. In 2019 I ordered the egress window well to replace the area entry into the basement. The price was extremely reasonable compared to other retailers. After installing the well and the window I had. I immediately noticed how bright the basement became. I liked these wells so much when I found the same version but non-egress. I went to Rockwell and found they had the best price and am now replacing the rest of the window wells around the basement.

Rockwell builds the best window wells that you can find at any price. They are attractive and durable. If you live in sandy soil, you definitely want these wells. Great guys who work hard to make the best product possible. Happy to have known them for over 15 years.
